Each Year's Most Significant Death.

2015 - Leonard Nimoy

Are you kidding?

It was either him or Lee....who else?

I'd say Lee. World wide famous, many roles.

 

But I'd say that also Nash, Lemmy, Berra, Malone for example are more famous than Nimoy. Nimoy was just an old TV-series icon. Would e.g. Al Bundy die, would you consider that as the biggest death of a year? I don't think so.

Nimoy had the most coverage on social media for sure.

 

 

Aye, and so did Ed Miliband.

Based on your 2015 and 2013 choices (didn't feel like checking the rest of the random Japanese people), I'm guessing you're a video game superfan.

 

Anyways, I'll give you 2015 since nobody really stood out that year and it's more of a matter of opinion.

 

But 2013? That was the year Nelson Mandela and Margaret Thatcher died...

The fact you took time to make the list I tip my cap.

And I'm not going to take said time, and I like many of the names you have posted, so I'll just agree to agree. You've already swapped out Mandela.

However I'm left shaking my head at your hard-on for former First Ladies. Who gives a shit. They won the marriage lottery, and apart from maybe Eleanore Roosevelt really aren't accomplished individuals at all, other than a few charitable efforts expected of them.

Nimoy had the most coverage on social media for sure.

That's why I chose him, I remember the big boom in the media and this years Oscars, but I prefer Lee, but I think we could say Lee and Nimoy are tied for 2015 since Bowie decided to take 2016

[ImNotHades 207]

Since my birth in 1993 (note that I can't possibly know who was a media center for each year until 2006):

 

1993 - Audrey Hepburn

1994 - I'd say Kurt Cobain (the reason is that he was the only one who was constantly mentioned since)

1995 - Dean Martin

1996 - Ella Fitzgerald

1997 - Princess Diana

1998 - Frank Sinatra

1999 - Stanley Kubrick

2000 - Hedy Lamarr
2001 - George Harrison
2002 - The Queen Mother...I guess
2003 - Katharine Hepburn
2004 - Ronald Reagan, I'd choose Brando or Charles but I'll stay with Reagan
2005 - Pope John Paul II
2006 - Steve Irwin - the only death I remember and cared about as a kid
2007 - Luciano Pavarotti
2008 - Heath Ledger
2009 - Michael Jackson
2010 - Dennis Hopper
2011 - Steve Jobs, Amy Winehouse, Osama Bin Laden, Muammar al-Qaddafi...a hard year to choose
2012 - Whitney Houston
2013 - Nelson Mandela
2014 - Robin Williams
2015 - Leonard Nimoy
2016 - David Bowie (so far).....there are few people who can take away Bowie's place, I'd say it could be Liz 2, Madge, Janet, Obamas or currently popular musicians and actors (Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie....)

2016 - David Bowie (so far).....there are few people who can take away Bowie's place, I'd say it could be Liz 2, Madge, Janet, Obamas or currently popular musicians and actors (Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie....)

 

 

You're having a laugh, aren't you. Did you forget Kim Kardashian?

 

From your selection, only Queen Elizabeth II would eclipse Mr Bowie.

 

I don't even know who you mean by "Janet".

The Kardashians are American Royalty. If anything happened to Kim,Kris,Kourtney,Khloe,Kylie or Rob the nation would go into weeks of morning not seen since JFK died.

Jackson.

 

But who does he mean by Madge?

 

Also, unfortunately, if a pop-whore like Beyoncé or Britney Spears died, it would be more important than Bowie.

Kim freak will live like ZZ....all gold diggers do, but personally I don't think she could eclipse Bowie...well maybe, it's 2016 a weird year so far

Janet Jackson would get attention and maybe share the 1st prize.....news people are weird and the fact her family would again be the center of attention like in 2009 and she would get a title..something like Princess or Queen or Goddess...you know

 

personally, currently there is no artist that could eclipse Bowie, no Jackson or Madonna and especially not any Kardashian could....we should send Kardacrapians to ISIS to destroy them with bankruptcy...ironic their initials make KKK

People who would cry for any Kardashian should be killed....I hope you are not a fan of "American Royalty", if you are I feel sorry for you and this is no sarcasm

[wildstorm 297]

...most significant death for every year from 1963 onwards...

screw that!

 

1467- Eleanor of Portugal

[ImNotHades 207]

So....who gets 2016? Well, for now.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Bowie. Probably Bowie.

[ImNotHades 207]

I'm scared to ask if there could be a bigger one.
